In reply to the discussion: Poll, will Musk buying twitter change your twitter usage? [View all]haele
(13,216 posts)20. It will when he starts charging for usage as he says he will.
He's made statements for the effect that he's not going to allow Twitter to remain a "hot mess" of garbage posts. He's also talked about subscription tiers of usage, especially for "blue checks", to continue to post.
He doesn't understand the economics of a social Media. For a trust fund man-baby 'tech bro' he really does not have clue one about how real (and admittedly not so real) people think and act.
Twitter will go the way of MySpace, only quicker. No wonder he fired the Twitter execs who actually knew how the platform worked.
